Gemma Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Elie, I might be willing to trade my Palutena~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) Yea, I totally was able to use 1-click, and when I tried to buy another thinking that it would've failed, it worked and i was told Sry man, 1 per person yo. That sly Josh Heh, I wonder if we were told it would be disabled to encourage people to make sure their shipping info and all was up to date so they would risk less emails and such about accidental info errors. :P And risk less people having to have their orders canceled because of said errors. I wanted Palutena mainly because I think she's pretty cool and I wanted to do some shenanigans with her and Ike. Hee hee.

Ema Skye Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Managed to get Palutena! Awesome because she's one of my mains. Also caved and got a Rosalina for $32. Still scalper prices but considering she was like 90 bucks in Canada before the restock I'm totally okay with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jotaro Kujo Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I missed Palutena and I'm still not entirely sure if I wanted her or not I'm kinda leaning towards I didn't want her but watch me regret it when I see her for like, $50 in some places!

NinjaMonkey Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) Really? I visited my local GAME the other day and saw at least 5 Palutena's on the shelves... Is she really that popular where you live? Edited July 25, 2015 by NinjaMonkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingddd Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) Really? I visited my local GAME the other day and saw at least 5 Palutena's on the shelves... Is she really that popular where you live? North America in general has really low and I mean very very low supply of amiibos. Europe and Japan you'll usually have no problem finding them in local stores and it's why people are importing the heck out of them. If you were to walk into any NA stores, you will find only the following: Mario Series Amiibos Smash Bowser Smash Zelda Smash Mario Smash Peach Smash Pikachu Smash Yoshi (uncommon now) Smash Luigi Smash Diddy (uncommon now) Smash Pacman (uncommon now) Smash Sonic (uncommon now) If any of the following are not listed, they are either rare in stores or no stocks at all. This is how bad it is. Even the DK series is getting rare and they were common as heck back then. Kirby is now even going to the uncommon now and I never find any in any of my local game stores. Heck my local stores only gotten half of the preorders of Ness and Shulk amiibos at launch. They had to wait 5 weeks to get a resupply and even then, they could not even fulfill enough of those in the waiting queue. Europe and Japan honestly has it very good right now since the overall demand is low compared to the NA. During the preorder launch of wave 4, the lineup when I went to had 140 or so customers lining up to preorder Lucina and Robin. Guess what happened. My local shop only gotten 7 Robin and Lucinas. The situation of the amiibo demand has gotten so bad now that all my local stores are now saying they will never do any preorders at all now.

Anacybele Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Palutena is Amazon exclusive in the US. She won't see store shelves anywhere here except in Nintendo World. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIO Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Amazon actually did a good job with the Palutena release; limited to one per account, disabled 1-click, they didn't sell out for a bit over an hour. I mean it's possible that everything that seemed good will all later implode and it turns out that most of the orders get canceled, but it seemed like Amazon were actually pretty competent about the whole thing...

Anacybele Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 1-click wasn't disabled though. I was able to use it. My order shipped and everything too. Due to arrive tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrman Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 My Amiibo collection! Since I was lazy and used my laptop camera, in bad light, the amiibos may be hard to see. Plus some are hiding behind others. Left side: Mario, Peach, Link, Pikachu, Ganondorf, Yoshi. Right side: Marth, Ike, DK, Diddy, Wario, Charizard. Top: Boxed Silver Mario. Not shown: Fox. All but Silver Mario obtained at retail/received as gifts. SM bought off some $40 scalper. The black thing in the corner is my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roflolxp54 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Forced to miss out on Palutena amiibo release on Amazon as I was at work. Plus, I can't exactly order anything online as my parents hate anything addressed to me that doesn't have anything to do with college/studying.

Roflolxp54 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Yeah, I'm basically forced to sit out and wait until I'm back at college so I can order something that would be addressed to my apartment instead of home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Well, hopefully you'll eventually get what you're wanting! I was able to wait five months for my Ike Amiibo, so I'm sure you'll get a Palutena. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randoman Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Really? I visited my local GAME the other day and saw at least 5 Palutena's on the shelves... Is she really that popular where you live? Yep. As kingddd said, North America has it really bad regarding amiibo supply. The only place in Canada that I know of that actually got restocks of amiibo is New Game + in Calgary, Alberta (they also take online orders and deliveries, for those on SF who are interested). Even then, they really pumped up the prices like having Marth, Ike, and Wii Fit Trainer for $60 new. Though comparing my personal experiences to kingddd, I've never actually seen a Pac-Man amiibo in person, even at New Game +'s panel at the anime convention I went to. Also, I've only ever seen Toad, Silver Mario, and Sonic in stock once of all the stores I visited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I've only ever seen Toad, Silver Mario, and Sonic in stock once of all the stores I visited. I have probably only seen like 4 pacmans and even then, those were wave 4 launches. I saw 3 silver Marios but I witnessed a guy buying all three of them. Luckily I didn't really care about recolored Marios so never bothered. Not to mention my local craigslists and Kijiji are nothing but people attempting to sell their Silver and Gold Marios but with no results at all.

Anacybele Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 The goddess has arrived! ^^ Also, my first Ike/Palutena fun pic. Hee hee. "Hey there, handsome!" "Uhh...hi. (crud, why does she remind me of Elincia?)" (I can't help it, besides Palutena being pretty, funny, and cool, I also like her with Ike because she looks a little bit like Elincia. lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anacybele Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Ah, I see. If you got your order like soon after Palutena went up, I think it'll be fine. :) I mean, she was up for an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 If anybody needs pointing to a reasonably priced Palutena ($20ish), I can probably sort something out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jave Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) So here are my new additions to my amiibo collection. All gotten from store searching on Saturday: Charizard and Wario were simply grabbed at a store where they had about 4-5 copies of each. Easy finds. Greninja, however, was gotten at a different store and he was carefully hidden in the back of the counter among a sea of Wave 1+2 commons. I spotted him by almost pure chance (I was leaving the store and decided to take a second look), so when I said I was taking it even the guys at the store were surprised to find out it was still there. Not complaining, though. It was a good day for amiibo hunting. Edited July 27, 2015 by Jave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami922 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 My Palutena amiibo has shipped! It should arrive Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
